DYK for Teleseme

On 3 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Teleseme, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that hotel guests in the 1890s could use a teleseme (example pictured) to order cocktails and call manservants? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Teleseme. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Teleseme), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey @Gobonobo, thanks for such an interesting article! Out of curiosity, how did you find out about the teleseme? By the way, I just added it to the list of obsolete technology :-) Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 13:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Crunchydillpickle. Thank you for the link. That contraption has been sitting in my list of articles to create for quite a while. I think I first encountered it in a thread about low-hanging fruit at the site that shall not be named. gobonobo ^{+ c} 18:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Arkansas Federal Credit Union

The article Arkansas Federal Credit Union has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Completely unsourced. No evidence of meeting WP:ORGCRIT.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Replaceable non-free use File:Charlotte Friend (biologist).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Charlotte Friend (biologist).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Declining CSD on Mad honey

Hello editor,

I am declining your request for speedy deletion on Mad honey. The reason is because the page in question is under discussion here Talk:Grayanotoxin#Splitting proposal. Regards. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 09:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi SafariScribe. I'm closing that discussion as moot, as we now have a comprehensive article for mad honey. gobonobo ^{+ c} 14:18, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

This is an excellent article - great work. I've added a section on air-dropping fish, which I hope is in scope. Please remove it if you think that it's not. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 11:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@Nick-D: Thanks. Might be out of scope as no parachutes are involved, but I'm not fussed. It's a fun topic and I'd bet readers who want to know about animal drops will also be interested in air-dropped fish. gobonobo ^{+ c} 12:16, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Credit unions based in Arkansas

A tag has been placed on Category:Credit unions based in Arkansas indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, Gobonobo. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 19:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
